Solve the system of equations - x - y = 6 and 5x -7y=66 by combining the equations

Let's solve for x.

−x−y=6

Step 1: Add y to both sides.

−x−y+y=6+y

−x=y+6

Step 2: Divide both sides by -1.

−x

−1

=

y+6

−1

x=−y−6

x=−y−6

Let's solve for x.

5x−7y=66

Step 1: Add 7y to both sides.

5x−7y+7y=66+7y

5x=7y+66

Step 2: Divide both sides by 5.

5x

5

=

7y+66

Step-by-step explanation:

what is the rest of the question? ?

yes, gavin is right.

step-by-step explanation:

gavin is correct. 

this problem is about converting 9% per year to how many percent per quarter. the rate is still the same. it only differed in the time period. so, through dimensional analysis,

9% per year  × (1 year / 4 quarters) = 2.25% per quarter

if he was asked to convert 9% per year to how many percent per quarter  compounded quarterly, then you will not simply divide by four. this is because compounding is not linear.

hope this , have a good day. c;
